No Romero could have got the ko of a different referee was in there and that was an exhausted Romero. Your logic is broken. Accuracy can sleep someone just as easy as power and who's to say gastelum couldn't win a decision. Hard to know whos better at what. I don't think either bear mousasi to be honest

Looking good while beating Assunção is a hard task. Moraes deserves to fight for the title.

Moraes is the #1 Bantamweight in the world. This man has been demolishing the top 5. Only a matter of time before they recognize him officially as the best Bantamweight in the world.

Assuncao is a class act. I don't know where that leaves assuncao now. He will never get a shot at the belt in his career but still didn't act bitter
